Due to the way the human brain is wired, during times of rapid change the nervous system can be triggered into a state of threat, shutting down the areas of the brain needed for emotional and physical wellness. Fortunately, insights from modern neuroscience and mind-body research shine light on ways to regain control to maintain a sense of calm and clarity.
This presentation shares the science underlying the experience we are having as we navigate the turbulence associated with an evolving environment. It explores evidenced-backed mind-body-brain tools for staying connected and cultivating stress resilience in the face of adversity and ongoing flux. Strategies for managing stress and strain, staying focused at work, and collaborating effectively with others to mobilize positive change will be shared.
